UNSPSC 51284108: Ceftazidime

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 9M416Z9QNR. European Medicines Agency schedules Ceftazidime pentahydrate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01134MIG. Ceftazidime generally arises in the molecular formula C22H22N6O7S2. The term CEFTAZIDIME is a European Pharmacopoeia designation. CEFTAZIDIME is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix.

UNSPSC 51284108 Ceftazidime is a Commodity code that represents a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with ceftazidime procurement. Instead, the code shows activity related to broader pharmaceutical warehouse and medical supply contracting, where state and local health agencies source antibiotics, opioid-reversal medications, and related medical products through piggyback agreements and competitive bidding. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health departments and county governments focused on community health and emergency response.

The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for $2,999,999.11 over three years, supplying doxycycline and ciprofloxacin tablets through an Invitation for Bid process. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB in June 2026 for annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building. Activity is concentrated in Illinois and Florida, with procurement patterns showing reliance on cooperative purchasing vehicles and fixed-fee competitive bidding for multi-year supply agreements. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (ceftazidime) and the actual opportunities posted (doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, naloxone, and drug deactivation systems) suggests either tagging inconsistency in state and local systems or that this code captures a broader family of pharmaceutical procurement than its product name indicates.
